It started with the first one for the SNES, and then it came to the 64, which had AMAZING graphics for it's time. Then came the Gamecube, DS and wii, making it what it is today. Discuss this.

The N64 game had worse graphics than Diddy Kong Racing, IMO.
The worst change goes to the winged spiny shell. Thank you for being so abundant, you useless winged crap.

The DS version had a cruddy idea to make Grand Prix only available to one player, which we got with Mario Kart Wii? Why complain? I don't want my sister to sit out while Grand Prix is the quickest way for me to unlock stuff.

The Red Shells hit very hard in that game, but they are very unreliable.

They're all good and bad in their own ways. I'm going to rank them.
1. Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
+Pros: Excellent multiplayer, fun tracks and modes, co-op mode, 2 racers per kart.
-Cons: Steering can be pretty off, some of the courses are really short.
2. Mario Kart Wii
+Pros: Excellent multiplayer, wealth of modes and content, online play.
-Cons: Graphics look barely any better than Double Dash, 12 racers can get chaotic, the AI is rubber-banding and seems to get every item when they really need it.
3. Mario Kart DS
+Pros: Online play, great modes and content
-Cons: Some courses are really short, Controls are sometimes a little off.
4. Mario Kart 64
+Pros: Great courses, fun battle mode, good multiplayer.
-Cons: Mediocre graphics (c'mon, sprites?!), poor sounds (except the music).
5. Super Mario Kart
+Pros: Great music and gameplay
-Cons: Stiff controls, steep learning curve
6. Mario Kart: Super Circuit
+Pros: Great music and content
-Cons: Stiff controls and steep learning curve.

Bikes are better then Karts, because you can do wheelies which gives you speed boosts!
